Using entire males for meat...

Hi rob

Where do you send your cattle for slaughter, its interesting that you say the cattle settle when left, do you always send more than one in at a time?

Not always, no. They go to Mounfield's in Bubwith, usually. We took a couple of OTM into Glaves at Brompton last year, too, and they also killed them the next day.

This is Part 2 of that research http://jas.fass.org/content/45/4/699.full.pdf

Makes for an interesting read. Makes me think I'll go with my gut feeling and avoid using bulls as I daren't risk people finding the meat 'tough', especially when what we ourselves have eaten melted in the mouth.

Thank you for all the input and information very helpful.
